Batwoman

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: In the orphanage fight, Kate at one point is pushed against a pillar by a villain who holds her against it. She grabs a fire extinguisher and smashes another guy in the jaw with it. She does not drop this weapon nor hits with it the villain who is holding her, but in the next shot she is just punching and elbowing him. (00:19:05)

Sammo

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Alice is talking to Jacob Kane with Sophie on the plank, she says "Can your little birdie fly?", holding the radio with all fingers straight and on the side of the device. Cut to "For if she moves an inch..." and her fingers are curled, with the pinkie at the bottom. (00:33:15)

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Batwoman knocks the remote control for the bomb off Alice's hand, it lands in a close-up right at the edge of the building...only, it doesn't. You can see it at their feet when they fight a moment later. (00:34:10)

Sammo

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: The hair on Sophie's cheek as she stares at Batwoman after landing on top of her and is in kissing range is parted in locks that move and differ across shots in noticeable way (for instance when Kate pulls the gag off her mouth there's a very thin one curling to her lips, but it's a thick lock right after). (00:35:00)

Sammo

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Kate is writing the diary entry for Bruce, in the close-up the written part is taking barely half of the page, while in the overhead shot it is taking way more - the last lines being presumably actually scribbled by Ruby Rose have a much wider spacing. (00:40:20)

The Rabbit Hole - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Kate and Sophie are in the parking lot and Kate gives her the knife for analysis, she is holding the plastic bag in different ways between shots (you can see the ziplock of the bag change position, and her hands shift in the distance). (00:12:20)

Sammo

The Rabbit Hole - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: In her diary entry at the end of the episode, Kate puts the pen down to fetch the file. She puts the pen by the diary at first, but in the next shot the pen is on it, in the middle of the page. (00:40:20)

Sammo

Down Down Down - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, Kate is sitting at Bruce's desk. In front of her as the camera closes in there's a newspaper, and it is slightly raised because it overlaps a packet of letters. A few seconds later Kate puts down the black card, and the newspaper, which she has not touched, is sitting perfectly horizontal on the desk. (00:02:10)

Suggested correction: Yes, because Kate re-designed it.

Ohhh, okay. I must have missed the part when she said she was doing it, my bad. Which episode?

Sammo

I'll have to look that up, which I will when I have a chance, but it follows in line with the redesign of the batsuit and emblem.

Down Down Down - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: In the shot when Luke puts back on the table the double action grapple hook, the large bullet-shaped item next to it changes position compared to the rest of the scene. (00:11:30)

Down Down Down - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: Kate arrives in front of the newspaper. Directly behind her a guy a bit on the chubby side is arriving as well. But he already was in the crowd shown before, looking at the dummy. (00:11:40)

Down Down Down - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: The quantity of blood behind Batman's dummy changes; in the overhead shoot of the crowd it runs horizontally along the step for an area 3-4 inches wide, while in the subsequent close-up there's no such trim. (00:12:00)

Sammo

Down Down Down - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: At the university, Sophie ends up chasing away anyone interested in Mary. She motions her to go and in a close-up says "Kinda looking for my future husband here." Behind her, a woman with a bike is walking right to left. In the next shot, the woman is walking starting from a point much further back than before, and even more noticeably, two girls calmly make their way halfway through the stairs and sit down...but they were already sitting there in that previous shot. (00:12:50)

Down Down Down - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: After some awkwardness in the elevator, Kate arrives at the party. Walks to the left and she comes across a blonde wearing blue pants and top. The woman holds her drink in her left hand, which becomes the right in the reverse shot. (00:20:30)

Sammo

Down Down Down - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: In the elevator, Kate's dad is looking at the electric wires with a flashlight. His wife says "How can this city trust us to protect it", and he lowers the torch. Next shot, he has it still pointed at the circuitry, and he lowers it only a second later. (00:31:20)

Sammo

Down Down Down - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: In the lobby, Mary advances towards an injured woman she diagnoses from meters away. Seen from the front, she is holding her phone in the right hand. In the back view though, she has it in her left hand. The phone switches hand again when she commands the paramedics to go check her again. (00:32:45)

Sammo

Down Down Down - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: In her rooftop fight with Tommy, Batwoman opens with a batarang, then sends him face down kicking him from behind. They wrestle some, and the railgun goes off once. In a wide shot when she punches him in the midsection a few times while he is trapped in an armlock, you can see the gun on the ground. He had it in hand in the previous shot and is still in his possession later. (00:35:00)

Sammo

Down Down Down - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: Tommy makes his unceremonious exit, and Kate spots Reagan. During the sequence with her, the same couple (she wears a reddish dress and has black hair in a ponytail) appears by the stretcher and then a few meters behind, even further behind when the camera is on Sophie reacting to her "There you are." (00:39:10)

How Queer Everything Is Today! - S1-E10

Factual error: Kate fires a grappling hook into the back of the runaway train - it punctures the thin back door easily. She then fires another one backwards which hooks against one of the sleepers on the tracks. The slack gets taken up...and the train jolts to a dead stop as the hooks bite, (with everyone just wobbling on their feet somehow). No way on earth that's possible - the back door would have been torn off/open like a tin can and/or the sleeper would have been yanked out out of the ground, and the train would have ploughed into the station at full speed. Not to mention the fact that only after the train stops does the sleeper apparently give up the ghost and break. The magical supermetal of the train door is somehow still intact.

A Mad Tea-Party - S1-E8

Trivia: While it's not explicitly stated, the Superman from another earth played by Brandon Routh is the one from Superman Returns (and by extension that from the original Superman movies). Aside from the obvious factor of the same actor, he name checks his son Jason, which is what his son with Lois was called in that movie too. His reference to fighting himself relates to Superman 3.

The Rabbit Hole - S1-E2

Question: In flashbacks, Dougray Scott looks noticeably younger than present-day scenes. Is he digitally de-aged, or is it just makeup and soft focus? Or indeed is he just made a bit older and more "grizzled" in the present day scenes?
